V8 - literally

Awesome rom Neo, GPS for the first time works perfectly, I got sat lock and used it while travelling, very accurate.

Roms super snappy, blazing fast.

For all those who have been having trouble with lag, I would suggest flashing GB bootloaders before you flash the rom, and just in case you get into a book loop just keep holding the power and vol down button again to get back into recovery and follow the process in the op again.

For backup I was suggested "myback root" works really well, as good as titanium back up, just that this one is free and also backs up apk+data and phone settings,sms, contacts data as well.

You can schedule backup like titanium back up.

Never do system data . But yes I'm talking about Apps&Data only restore Apps and if possible restore from the Market avoiding Titanium Backup .

Gapps for blade. Works like a charm. Fixes exchange calendar. Did for me at least!
[Vibrant Android Development] cancrippler:
Exchange calendar won't sync. New gapps flash fixed it.

So just flash this? what happens to the apps that are install, does it just over-write them?
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
no.. this is a framework change you do not restore ANY data with Titanium when an OS version changes like this.

Are these vanilla, AOSP Gapps or are they tweaked by some carrier/manufacturer?

Flash the KB5 Modem for ICS, I just added to the OP.

Facebook needs to update its code. Facebook can't sync with any ICS.

A recent issue has been reported for downloads more than 10-15 MB giving error or unable to download. This has been reported to right sources and will be solved sooner.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
OK to flash. Just have to do it twice

Sent from my phone, not yours.
[Vibrant Android Development] MailenJokerbell:
Oh god this is so smooth!

I downloaded it a few minutes before going to work.

Like 10 minutes before going home, I wiped data and flashed.

It was quick, smooth and gave no errors.

On the way home I showed my friend just how awesome it was.

Great job :)
[Vibrant Android Development] junglerumble:
Hey neobuddy, have you started on v4 yet?
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
OK, thanks, but I dont think it is just related to large files. I also tried to download a 2.5MB file from the browser and it never downloaded so I emailed to myself and even the email app would not save the file to the sd card. The problem with my podcasts is that it cannot even download the latest xml to temp file on the sd to parse that file for the mp3's to download. So, not sure if this is the same issue that you are already aware of or not.
[Vibrant Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:

[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Waiting for proper kernel update from Eugene or OneCosmic's team.

Coz that can fix the orientation.

For the rest, a new framework with proper apps and libs are ready.

Prepared new init.d scripts for smoother UI.

Added /data/app support back.

The updated Beta 1 kernel from OneCosmic's source messes up the boot menu, and recovery is broken. Maybe I need to learn and compile kernel myself. Going through Github resources and seeing if I can do something with kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
ICS is really good when it comes in comparison with GB or Froyo.

Later. Too tired flashing and fixing new framework.

Are you having FFC ?
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
Wtf, I can't get it to work. Oh well, I'm sure more updates will be out soon so I will be flashing again anyway. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Before trying to restore, you should "allow other sources" from settings

And I think one must switch off hypershell in paid Titanium Backup. I am assuming this.

Yeah, don't worry too much about restoring apps at this point. There will be lots of updates and flashing to do. I only restore/install a few daily use apps. I will save the "restore all apps" part until we have a more stable and fully function version/ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
I did not turn off hypershell, but I did check the unknown sources. I will try that. I did just notice another thing...I have hardly used my phone at all today but the battery has been dropping pretty fast. I unplugged it with a full charge at about 730am and now at 6pm I only have 40% left. It was in deep sleep for 93% of the time. After checking battery history it said display was at 43% and Android system was at 23%. Any ideas on that one?
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
Yeah, hear ya on that. But this was my first time on ICS so I was eager to find out how well everything worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
nope, no FFC just a regular camera.

You cant complain about battery, not now anyways... It's been probably less than a week since this rom was released... PLUS its ICS beta/alpha we should be lucky we have anything close to a stable build of ICS. Battery life will come, don't worry. Neos gonna learn to kernel code and make it perfect :P

also i just saw the screenshots by theexcel, and am curious as to what this is:

ICS Calendar Issue

I'm having problem seeing the entire even info in the Calender.. It only showing the first few lines in the meeting description.. This is really annoying since I'm missing half of the meeting info! Anyone else noticed that? Or maybe have a solution?
[Vibrant Android Development] hippotek:
YES. I restored ALL my apps with data. No problems at all... Only the Framework Mod (accurate battery) will not work for some reason...
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
Then I'm pretty sure your phone is not going to sleep . Unless your backup is from ICS .
[Vibrant Android Development] Raistline:
I have tried both Accurate Battery mods on a clean install and even tried to re-download PassionV8. Neither seem to work and they actually get rid of my notification bar when used.. odd.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
I have installed all versions from v3 through v8. I backed up all my user apps in Titanium before flashing to the new version. After the flash and installing titanium from the market, I use batch mode to restore all missing user apps with data. I have never had any issues. My phone runs smooth, no lag, no FC's at all. I even restore the sms data to get my text back. I ony have about 60 user apps.

edit: When I intially installed v3 coming from DarkyROM 10.2.2 there were a couple apps that had to have app data cleared, but going from all ICS versions to the next I never have had an issue. My phone goes into deep sleep just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
The problem is not FC"s when restoring app & data . It's a problem with the phone going to sleep . Those who have restored app&data i'll bet if you look at battery and click the graph you phone is awake 100% of the time and you battery life sucks .
[Vibrant Android Development] kawika:
Unfortunately for me it looks like the face unlock add on is a no go on v8..... oh well:cool:

v8+ NNNOOOOO!!!!!! lol, heartbroken
[Vibrant Android Development] Sincitybronze:
I restored all my apps (not system) plus data with titanium and I have had no problems.

Some things that helped me with battery life, functionality, lag:

Make sure kernel overclock is 100 minimum. Mine was at 200 in setcpu and the device wouldn't sleep.

Fix permissions

After installing, reboot a second time before setting everything up

Freeze Google music and all other unused syncing processes in titanium

Use betterbatterystats to monitor wakelocks and Gemini to prevent unwanted startups

If an app is force closing or otherwise causing problems after restoring, check all settings, and turn off unwanted syncing. If you try to reinstall, delete data in settings, applications for that app first.

Use sms backup and restore for sms instead of titanium.
[Vibrant Android Development] chaulklet:
I restored most of my apps with data and I'm going to deep sleep :cool:

[Vibrant Android Development] jrafael:

Stop throwing out random info your not sure of.

Restoring data doesn't effect battery life unless its a specific app that's eating your battery.

Edited Build.prop

(sorry Neo love you rom, but your fired from editing this thing) :P

this "should" fix any FC and random reboots from Dalvik.vm

Based off my GN's 4.0.3 Build.prop

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18596484/build.prop

i'll host it till V9 comes out.

after replacing your current build.prop remember to reboot recovery and clear Dalvik Cache

Edit: Launcher still getting Random FC's so it's not dalvik/build prop related.

Curious Neo at any point doing the rom building of V8 was the launcher decompiled at all?

this may be a framework issue, or a decompile/edit/recompile error. my current software still isn't suporting 4.0 so i can't peak at the framework-res.apk or launcher2.apk

Getting good battery here and sleeps well
[Vibrant Android Development] getnbzy:
Hello all,

Wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing these problems

NoLed: I will set the widget to turn off notifications but it randomly turns itself back on and usually after a reboot.

Handcent: When i go to test notification sound...FC.

ROM toolbox pro: I set the slider to 100 min 1000 max and have tried to check apply on boot as well as unchecked and after reboot sometimes the 100/1000 sticks but most of the time after reboot or when i check after an hour or 2 i open cpu spy and it shows that 1200 has been running and deep sleep is unused.

Also under Auto start manager i have disabled several apps that i rarely use and don't need starting up everytime Ii reboot, but after rebooting and opening ATK i still see them all running just dragging my avail memory down.

Launcer FC's and Battery life have been mentioned but besides the above this ROM kicks ass. Can't wait for V.9. Thanks again for all those involved in it's creation.

My download speeds are horrendous. 20kbps and dropping. I don't know why this is the case but I hope someone fixes! Other than that great job! GPS still doesn't work sometimes and I have to restart but good job!
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
The other is go to manage apps and see how many you can move to SD. This moves their data too. Games especially take up a lot of datadata. Action games might slow down a bit though

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

Have you set your GPS to MS-Assisted? If so it uses your data connection to get postional info the whole time. MS-Based does not. Might help, might not.

MS-Assisted: Sends data to Server for position calculation

MS-Based: Calculates position in the handset

Look, I saw on another forum that the exchange calendar problem was common to ics rom builds, and updated gapps fix it. I Googled the version number suggested, and found that file. I did a full wipe, then flashed that gapps with cwm. Works perfectly. Overwrites old gapps. Do it in that order before registering with your google account and voila! Looks like it was made for a blade ics build, but works great with ours.

It was my experience that Titanium backup restore was causing the problem . I flashed V8 and didn't restore app and the phone went to sleep fine . As soon as I restored app&data the phone would not go to sleep which led me to believe it was Titanium backup . Others have stated that this did not cause problem with deep sleep . I'm just sharing my experience . Thats all .

A word about gps that may help others.

On v7 had the best gps I ever had on a non-froyo rom.

On v8 I had nada, zilch, nothing. NOTHING. No sats in view no matter how long i waited.

Then I remembered that I flashed jk6 modem on v7. Flashed it on v8- and viola! perfect gps.

I just did a completely clean reflash of v8. Again, no gps. Flashed jk6, instant gps.

In conclusion, if your gps sucks, one thing that *might* help is to try a different modem.

Time syncing doesn't work

In settings->date and time I have the boxes checked to sync time and timezone by default, but it doesn't appear to be working. After install my phone time was off by 5 hours. Unchecking and rechecking the box didn't appear to force it to sync either. I unchecked the box, set the time manually, which changed it, then rechecked the box, and it kept my manually set time, which makes me think the sync is busted.
